Recent Student News

  • Congratulations to Richard Hummel, M. Graham Lopez, Jason M. Fye, and Brian J. Gray on successful defenses of their respective master's theses.
  • Chris Weitzen has been awarded a Richter Scholarship for this summer by the Graduate School. Chris is working with Dr. Errin Fulp, and Chris will travel to Japan this summer. Chris will be investigating the implementation of a proxy agent for the interaction between consumer web services and ubiquitous devices. Slow speed wireless devices, coupled with high speed backbone connections point towards a unique environment for next generation of computing. This environment is emerging in the United States, but already exists in Japan. This research involves not only traditional computer science network research, but also important cultural ramifications for both Japan and the United States.
